Ideal spot overlooking a small beach park. Property was exactly as photos advertised. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping, easy underground parking. Only problem was that we wanted to stay longer! We did not give ourselves enough time in Kona after starting our trip on the Hilo side of the island.

More than what i expected for my dollar. Things I would use on a daily basis. It is also about location, couldn't have been any better, short walk to bars, shopping or just the beach. Love that the room had beach chairs, umbrella and towels. Made good use of them all week. They were good ones too. One thing to comment, kept getting warning about parking. It is not a smart idea to keep a placard in the vehicle stating where you are staying and tucked it away when we were out and about. Something i learned in my visits to many locations. It wiuld be smarted to give the license plate number to management. Speaking of management, we had to interface with the manager about a few alarms that went bad in the room during our stay. But we worked it out.

All the amenities needed for a great vacation and the view of the ocean from the patio is spectacular with the waves crashing and seeing a few wave riders showing their skills. Awesome sunsets to the right and plenty of birdwatching and activity, too from this location. Easy walk to the market.

We’ve stayed in a couple other ocean front units at Kona Reef, and this was the nicest of them. Nicely remodeled, and extremely well stocked with high quality items.It has an extra bathroom and larger unit compared to most of the one bedroom units. The outside area is a bit wider too, which gives room for a dining table plus two lounge chairs.The bed was a very good bed, better than other beds we’ve had in Kona Reef units. If there is any one improvement for the unit, a top tier bed would be the one thing I could ask for. Note that is definitely not a complaint; the unit itself is so good that is literally the only improvement I could even think of.Would definitely stay again.

We stayed here at the end of June with 2 kids. The place is clean and in a really great location in Kailua-Kona. The owners are really responsive. We appreciate having the space with littles and the ocean view. The unit is located next to the pool so it can get loud or you are looking into other units. Not a huge issue as long as you're not looking for that extra bit of privacy. It is clearly stated there is no AC, and there are a couple of extra fans but some days were rough with the heat and humidity. Even with the windows open, the furniture felt damp at times. Again, not a huge issue but if you're traveling with kids who are still napping or go to bed early, just something to consider.The unit is easy access to a small beach, ocean front stroll in the grass, parking is convenient, ands you can walk to the little downtown area.

We loved our stay and the location was amazing. Sitting right on the ocean, the views and sounds were amazing. We witnessed the most glorious sunsets, and walked to town a couple times. The air conditioner and ceiling fans kept us comfortable and desk area was key for my husband being able to work as needed. The elevators were broken (which is no reflection on the owners of the unit) but it did make lugging our heavy luggage a task since it's on the 3rd floor. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

The unit we stayed in was very very nice. The view was spectacular, kitchen was well stocked with most things we needed. It is close to downtown, shopping and restaurants, yet far enough away from most of the nighttime noise associated with the main tourist areas. The property had a few areas that could use some updating, but the pool area was very well maintained and pleasant to spend time in. Would like to see a bit more daily maintenance in the lawn area, people left trash there that no one picked up for days. I would highly recommend this unit for a good family location.

This unit is sublimely located. The view is everything one wants when planning a HI trip. Pool in complex is nice, with an adjacent hot tub and grill area. It is located a mile or so out of downtown Kona, so near to but not stuck in the middle of things. It is nice to have full kitchen and bathroom is decent. A couple or parents with 1-2 kids would have a fabulous time using this as a home base for exploring the big island.Some of my favorite memories of my whole trip at sitting on the lanai in the morning watching boats,outriggers, swimmers, etc go by in the distance. One day I even saw a a group of dolphins. Sunsets are magical too.

We’ve had the pleasure of staying in this condo twice and absolutely loved it both times! The view is simply breathtaking, and there’s nothing better than relaxing on the lanai while watching the stunning sunsets. The condo is comfortable, well-maintained, and fully stocked with everything we need. We can’t wait to come back again!

We loved our stay in this unit. The ocean view is spectacular and we enjoyed watching dolphins from the lanai!Unit has all the amenities you’d need to feel at home. The location of Kona Reef is also great and we loved our morning walks to Kailua pier. Centrally located near great snorkeling, shopping and fining - what’s not to love! We’ll be back!!

This is a good stay near the center of Kailua. The condo is spacious and has a great view of the ocean (and surfers!). Everything was clean and well-organized. Check-in was good, parking is easy, overall a great home base.

This unit was really just perfect for our week stay in Kona. It was clean, comfortable and had almost everything we needed for a wonderful stay. The unit had all of the beach gear and most of the cooking utensils we had hoped for. There were plenty of towels for the week and also a washer and dryer as well as detergent to launder our clothing. The view and the patio was the best part of our stay. We would definitely return to this unit on our next stay in Kona. Just a few small housekeeping tips for the owner: the bed is just ok. The foam topper helps rather then a hard bed but a new mattress would be ideal. The tub/ shower stopper was broken so i had to buy a stopper to take baths..also the shower inside curtain had mold. It was just a minor inconvenience. Also just recommend adding oven mits, spoon rest and a hot plate for cooking. The fan in the living room needs to be tightened up as it wobbled and looked like it could become a problem. Just small suggestions to make the unit more comfortable but again it was a great stay and lovely unit and we would definitely choose this unit over others we have stayed in at the Kona Reef resort.

The Seashore Oasis is absolutely a wonderful place to stay! The lanai was, of course, our favorite place to gather for coffee in the morning. We loved the sound of the waves crashing on the shoreline and rocks so close to this place. In addition, the location was easy for walking into town. All in all, an amazing stay!

We have stayed in Kona many times, so we knew we were booking a condo right at the water’s edge, next to a “boutique” beach, and walking distance from town. What we weren’t expecting were the special touches throughout the apartment, from delightfully decorated bathrooms to a designer kitchen to the “parade” of boogie borders outside the living room window; the epic waves that week called to the brave, and during the daylight hours, we saw a half dozen or more surfing, waiting, or wiping out. We didn’t expect this level of entertainment!We rented a car and made use of it, but being so close to town made avoiding traffic and parking a breeze. If you like a bit of adventure with your chill Hawaiian vacation, this could be a very good fit for you!

The location and proximity to the ocean five star!! The unit was dated, uncomfortable beds, corrosion everywhere and NO AC. Other units have AC in the complex. To remain competitive, our unit must make some upgrades.

The condo was well kept. The lanai was amazing. A/C doesn’t reach bedroom well and that room was hot.

View and shower were amazing. TVs should not need pages in a binder to figure out. Also, what good are instructions in a binder for getting into the apartment if you can't get into the apartment and the company's preferred texting communication is worthless? Thank goodness for the phone representative AND the property manager. Place only 1 keypad or lockbox on door and make sure they work. Also, dust the closet and leave room for hanging. Clean your floor fans, dust TV areas and closet floor. The beds were amazingly UNCOMFORTABLE! But the view and shower helped distract the inconveniences with being locked out and dust.

My husband and I loved this condo! The view of the ocean was fabulous. The deck is pretty much right on the water, so it’s lovely watching and listening to the waves. The condo is clean, bright, and comfortable. Check-in and out process was very easy with the keyless entry. It was a short walk to downtown restaurants and bars. Also about a 5-7 min walk to Royal Kona Resort for food, drinks, or attending the luau.

Our stay was amazing.. the unit is very well stocked, we used the pool side grills, parking was easy, short walk to great restaurants. But the icing on the cake was sitting on the lanai morning & evening watching & listening to the waves crash! I stress over booking places to stay.... would definitely book this again!

We were celebrating our wedding anniversary, and while we have stayed at this condo complex several times before, this was our first time in this particular unit. This unit is absolutely our favorite! It was just as advertised, fully furnished, had everything we needed, and was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked and allowed us to cook meals whenever we wanted. We spent much time on the lanai and enjoyed watching the dolphins, birds, surfers, and boats. We enjoyed great walks into town and visited several local restaurants during our visit. We highly recommend Huggo's & On the Rocks as they are very close by and the food was amazing! The Maitais were delicious! The pool was clean and had ample seating in the sun or the shade. We contacted the host once to make a request, which they graciously accommodated. They were very professional and pleasant to talk to. We will stay in this unit again and highly recommend it to others. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Condo well maintained. Clean, organized & communication with owners was great. We love location as Kona Reef is within walking distance of Kailua town, but the best location is on the lanai early mornings & sunset watching the waves. No ka oi

The location is amazing. Easy walking distance to local shops and restraunts, and has beach access with amazing views. The only real downside to this property was the little things that add comfort.The only AC was a window unit in the living room that ran on a timer. The timer isnt as big of a deal but the bedroom suffers dramatically at night. Honestly if a small unit was added to the bedroom we never would have needed to run the unit in the living room, as the patio had screen doors to allow fresh sea air to blow directly in. The only real complaint I had due to the struggles of sleeping comfortably at night. The next thing which wasnt as big of a deal is the bathroom was smaller and made my wife and I's morning routine of getting ready a little congested. This was not as big of a concern for us, I only mention it for those expecting aomething different. This place does have a full kitchen that someon easily could kick meals rather than eat out, as food prices are fairly steep. Those that are ballin on a budget, I would recomend running to target before and load up on some groceries. Side note: The targets here are insanely nice compared to our local target. They get a 10/10. LolOverall our stay was amazing due to its location. Plenty of parking and easy walking distance to a ton of places including beaches. The sunset view on the public shoreling was amazing! Would recommend to anyone, just dont expect AC.

I can not say enough about our hosts. I realized on the day we were set to arrive that i had made an error on the booking dates. I reached out to Regina and Scott to see if they could accommodate one extra day due to my error (I thought it was unlikely). Regina went out of her way to accommodate us. I was thrilled and so appreciative. Best hosts ever!!! In addition, the condo was just what we needed. The million dollar view and great location to walk to everything on Ali'i Drive was perfect. We also enjoyed the washer and dryer that is located in the unit. It was essential to us being able to pack lighter!!! Thanks again to Regina and Scott. I can't recommend them as hosts enough!

Perched just above the shoreline, this property offers an unforgettable immersion into the natural poetry of Hawaii. The rhythmic crash of surf marks Hawaain time--slowly replenishing the spirit. Each day, rain or shine, ends in a blaze of color as the sun sinks into the Pacific, gilding the sea in molten gold. Rainbows appear with near-daily regularity, arcing across the sky like whispered promises, while sea turtles drift below and fishing boats hum up and down the coast, “mowing the lawn” in slow, meditative lines. Traditional waʻa glide past, paddles slicing in synchronized grace — a living tribute to Hawaiian heritage.The air is rich with salt and the heady sweetness of plumeria, a sensory balm that lingers long after sunset. Some great snorkeling coves and swimming beaches are a short commute away, plus a lively collection of shops and shave ice stands where flavors bloom like tropical flowers.What truly elevates the stay is Jim, the owner — a host of uncommon generosity and warmth. He is attentive without intrusion, always ready with insightful recommendations or fascinating island lore, should you ask. His care is evident in every detail. Make sure you ask him about island trivia.This is not simply a place to stay, but one to feel, to breathe in, and to remember. A rare haven where land, sea, and spirit converge in quiet harmony.
